Information on laundry ...
Labelling of fabrics
Follow the manufacturer's care information.
hcSuitable for tumble drying
( Dry at normal temperature.
'cDry at low temperature.
)cDo not tumble dry.
Do not tumble-dry the following fabrics:
– Non-breathable fabrics (e.g. rubber-coated).
– Delicate materials (silk, curtains made from synthetic material) a these may crease.
– Oil-stained laundry.
Drying tips
– To ensure a consistent drying result, sort the laundry by fabric type and drying programme.
– Always dry very small fabrics (e.g. baby socks) together with large items of laundry
(e.g. towels).
– Close zips, hooks and eyelets, and button up covers.
Tie cloth belts, apron strings, etc. together or use a laundry bag.
– Do not over-dry easy-care laundry a Risk of creasing.
Allow laundry to finish drying in the air.
– Do not iron laundry immediately after drying; fold items up and leave for a while
a residual moisture will then be distributed evenly.
– Knitted fabrics (e.g. T-shirts, jerseys) often shrink slightly the first time they are tumble-dried.
a Do not use the
C/board dry extra programme.
– Starched laundry is not always suitable for dryers a starch leaves behind a coating that
reduces the drying effect.
– When washing laundry that is to be tumble-dried afterwards, use the correct amount of
fabric softener as specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
– With a small load, use the Timed programme.
Environmental protection / Energy-saving tips
– Before drying, spin the laundry in the washing machine a the higher the spin speed, the
shorter the drying time will be, thus less energy is consumed.
Also spin easy-care laundry.
– Use the maximum recommended capacity, but do not exceed it
a Programme overview, Page 7.
– Make sure the room is well ventilated during drying.
– Clean the fluff filters after every drying cycle aCleaning the fluff filters, Page 4.
– Keep the supply of cool air unobstructed a Do not cover or block the air inlet.

Important information...
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy efficient. Its technical features include
a refrigeration circuit, which uses energy efficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensation container must be cleaned regularly.
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters or the filter in the condensation container.
ʑ
Fluff filters
During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. A blocked fluff filter
may impair the heat exchange process.
The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle.
Rinse regularly under running water a Page 4.
When cleaning the fluff filter, make sure that no foreign material (down, filling material) enters
the air duct opening. If necessary, clean the drum beforehand with a vacuum cleaner.
If foreign material should still enter the air duct a call the after-sales service.
ʑ
Filter in the condensation container
The filter in the condensation container cleans the condensation. This condensation
is required for the automatic cleaning process. The filter should be cleaned regularly under
running water. Empty the condensation container before cleaning the filter a
Installation and maintenance instructions, Page 3.
ʑ
Fabrics
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint:
e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent, etc.
Empty all pockets.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics.
Avoid drying laundry items that produce a lot of fluff.
Woollens should be refreshed or dried using the woollens programme only.

Normal noises
During drying, the compressor and the pump generate some noise which is entirely normal.
The compressor in the dryer may
occasionally generate a humming noise.
The volume and pitch of this may vary
depending on the selected
programmes and the progress of the
drying.
The compressor in the dryer is ventilated
from time to time, which creates a whirring
sound.
The automatic cleaning process causes
a clicking noise.
The process of pumping the condensation
into the condensation container generates
pumping noises.

Important information...
Your dryer is designed to be particularly energy efficient. Its technical features include
a refrigeration circuit, which uses energy efficiently in a similar way to a refrigerator.
The dryer's heat exchanger is cleaned automatically during drying.
The fluff filters and filter in the condensation container must be cleaned regularly.
Never operate the dryer without the fluff filters or the filter in the condensation container.
ʑ
Fluff filters
During drying, fluff and hair from the laundry is trapped by the fluff filter. A blocked fluff filter
may impair the heat exchange process.
The fluff filters must therefore be cleaned after every drying cycle.
Rinse regularly under running water a Page 4.
When cleaning the fluff filter, make sure that no foreign material (down, filling material) enters
the air duct opening. If necessary, clean the drum beforehand with a vacuum cleaner.
If foreign material should still enter the air duct a call the after-sales service.
ʑ
Filter in the condensation container
The filter in the condensation container cleans the condensation. This condensation
is required for the automatic cleaning process. The filter should be cleaned regularly under
running water. Empty the condensation container before cleaning the filter a
Installation and maintenance instructions, Page 3.
ʑ
Fabrics
Do not dry any fabrics that have come into contact with solvents, oil, wax, grease or paint:
e.g. hair styling products, nail varnish remover, stain remover, cleaning solvent, etc.
Empty all pockets.
Do not dry non-breathable fabrics.
Avoid drying laundry items that produce a lot of fluff.
Woollens should be refreshed or dried using the woollens programme only.

Normal noises
During drying, the compressor and the pump generate some noise which is entirely normal.
The compressor in the dryer may
occasionally generate a humming noise.
The volume and pitch of this may vary
depending on the selected
programmes and the progress of the
drying.
The compressor in the dryer is ventilated
from time to time, which creates a whirring
sound.
The automatic cleaning process causes
a clicking noise.
The process of pumping the condensation
into the condensation container generates
pumping noises.
